The always prolific tweeter-in-chief appears to have hit a new record.
The president’s @realDonaldTrump account had tweeted and retweeted 115 times by late Thursday night, marking what could be his most active day on the platform yet.
The avalanche came as the House judiciary committee pressed toward a historic vote on Friday to approve articles of impeachment against him.
Trump has noticeably ramped up his tweeting during the impeachment inquiry. He tweeted 77 times on Wednesday and 105 times on Sunday, repeatedly declaring his innocence and retweeting comments and video of supporters defending his conduct.

Trump's record-high 123 tweets yesterday were more in a single day than he posted in any full week in 2017. All told, it brought his total since Sunday to 367, the most since taking office of any week — with two days still to go.
